942 IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with deliberate restraint. The carbonation is well-integrated, lending a gentle sparkle without aggression. A classically clean presentation for the American IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced pine and herbal notes from Cascade and Simcoe hops, layered beneath a delicate floral character. Tropical fruit esters emerge on closer inspection—mango and stone fruit—while a subtle biscuity undertone from Maris Otter and Cara Gold malts grounds the composition. The overall impression is bright and inviting without excessive alcohol vapors.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with a full, rounded body that supports a wave of tropical fruit—grapefruit and mango dominate the mid-palate. Citrus and piney hop bitterness builds gradually, complemented by a subtle roasted undertone from the grain bill. The beer drinks slowly and deliberately, demanding attention rather than swift consumption.

◑ Abgang

A clean, lingering bitter finish that persists without becoming harsh or metallic. The aftertaste carries echoes of pine and citrus zest, fading steadily into a dry, slightly astringent conclusion.
